The theme is Bananas & Anna Banana. Many of our members are « bananas » themselves, others are »fruity », a few are « nutty », and one is completely « ape ».
If you are none of these, don’t worry we can help you with specially designed projects and exams for your progress to the banana status you deserve.
We will also explore the many works of Anna Banana as we give appreciation for involvement in Mail Art & "Art".
PS I you are « crackers » or « loony », this group may not be for you.
Also: see link and fill in the form and return it to Anna Banana!
Quick, easy, safe for children to use and dishwasher safe - you can't ask for more than that! Thank you FB - especially as I missed joining the November banana event :>)
The new Anna Banana book is out! The Art of A. Banana Unpeeled features images from both the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and Open Space retrospectives. Available for $20. Please email office[@]openspace.ca The Art of A. Banana Unpeeled
I've received your new Banana Mail Art few days, weeks ago. And your warning / order 'Open on 21st of February' I took seriously. Very seriously. This seriously, that I immediately did hide your mail art, to prevent myself from opening it before 21st of February. It has been hidden too well. I cannot find it today, on THE day!...
Anyway: thank you very much, KAterina! I'll keep your mail art as a surprise until (= hope to find it back again before) the next Banana day!

Received a great Banana by FinnBadger!
On the back nice eatable stamps, too (be it that the banana on the stamp was less fortunate, due to splitness...)

@Heleen @ Momkat - the cards probably went through a machine here in the US and then through another one once they arrived in the Netherlands/Greece.
